Abstractions On Paper

After a distinguished early career as an abstract painter, Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) focused almost exclusively on the human figure from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s. With noted Bay Area painters David Park, Elmer Bischoff, Theophilus Brown, and Frank Lobdell, Diebenkorn drew regularly from live models. In his introduction to this volume, Sonoma painter Chester Arnold says, "[Diebenkorn] rarely paid academic homage to anatomy, yet the accuracy of his readings yields that rare fusion of knowing and questioning, of grace and impetuousness that give his drawings their dignity and power." The majority of the 99 images reproduced are previously unpublished and available here for the first time.

Of the fish patrolmen under whom we served at various times, Charley Le Grant and I were agreed, I think, that Neil Partington was the best. He was neither dishonest nor cowardly; and while he demanded strict obedience when we were under his orders, at the same time our relations were those of easy comradeship, and he permitted us a freedom to which we were ordinarily unaccustomed, as the present story will show.

In Hollywood Digs, veteran film and television writer Ken LaZebnik unearths shards of film history that have rarely seen the light of day. Here is the romantic and tragic saga of Jock Mahoney, legendary stuntman and Hollywood's thirteenth Tarzan; F. Scott Fitzgerald, toward the end of his life, living in a cottage on the Encino estate of film butler Edward Everett Horton; Micky Moore, who spent eighty-four years in the industry, first as a child actor with Mary Pickford and later as the fabled second-unit director of Raiders of the Lost Ark.More than sixty duotone photographs include two large galleries by Hollywood master Leigh Wiener. They accompany the author's deft and idiosyncratic portraits of Hollywood luminaries including Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, Judy Garland, Al Jolson, Milton Berle, George Burns, and Harpo Marx.Ken LaZebnik gives readers an insider's look at how Hollywood works, sharing his own experience of success and failure. He excavates hidden histories of the famous and near-famous. Told with wit and compassion, Hollywood Digs finds treasures amid the dust. "These essays are wonderful untold histories behind the people, places, and movies of Hollywood. Ken LaZebnik is a gentle soul with an eye for story and a gift for words, which makes it amazing that he's ever had a day of work in this town." - Brian Rooney, journalist and editor, TheRooneyReport.com

Throughout his career, Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) produced still lifes and landscapes in a range of media. In his introduction to this book, Sonoma painter Chester Arnold describes Diebenkorn's landscapes and still lifes as "achievements radiant with human reflection and the gravity of knowing," as well as "a summons to pay attention to the everyday, and a reminder of the rewards in doing so." Of the 101 images reproduced in this volume, nearly half are previously unpublished and available here for the first time.

DIEBENKORN, Richard

Schneider, Bart (Edited by)

For the past forty years, Bay Area painter Chester Arnold has grappled with the prospect of making relevant narratives on canvas, exhibiting his results extensively and often. His work often reflects a political consciousness encompassing many aspects of contemporary life. Arnold's masterful paintings connect with traditions of empathy and idea driven art. This wide ranging collection surveys works from the past three decades, investigations rich with humor, penetrating visual commentary, along with a fierce love of the natural world and the Art of Painting. Brief texts, derived from conversations, describe many of the concerns that have driven Arnold's prolific career.
